INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER
â[An] ingenious jigsaw puzzle of a book...highly entertaining.â âThe New York Times
âThe queen of found footage thrillers.â âJulia Bartz, New York Times bestselling author
A whip-smart and âfast-paced mysteryâ (The Daily Telegraph, London) from the internationally bestselling author of The Twyford Code and The Appeal about a true crime journalist who revives a long-buried case about a cultâand finds herself too close to the story.
Everyone knows the story of the Alperton Angels: the cult who brainwashed a teenage girl into believing her baby was the anti-Christ. When the girl came to her senses and called the police, the Angels committed suicide and mother and baby disappeared.
Now, true crime author Amanda Bailey is looking to revive her career by writing a book on the case. The Alperton baby has turned eighteen; finding them will be the scoop of the year. But rival author Oliver Menzies is just as smart, better connected, and also on the babyâs trail.
As Amanda and Oliver are forced to collaborate, they realize that the truth about the Angels is much darker and stranger than theyâd ever imagined, and in pursuit of the story they risk becoming part of it.
